Lose the Names

You will. You’ll lose
Us or we’ll lose
You. We’ll go on
From you. Not you.

It’s tough. To have
Us means you know
You’re you, you’ll go.
You feel we’re you.

You’re who you are
Since names tell you,
But names aren’t you,
Aren’t all of you.

The core of you
Is not us, is
An ache to be
Fed. We don’t eat.
